Front Wiper Control
NOTE: The wipers will automatically return to the
"park" position if you turn OFF the ignition switch while
they are operating. The wipers will resume operation
when you turn the ignition switch back to the ON
position.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 213
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers OFF when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to the
windshield wipers may result if the wiper control
is left in any position other than OFF.
• In cold weather, always turn OFF the wiper switch
and allow the wipers to return to the park position
before turning OFF the engine. If the wiper switch
is left ON and the wipers freeze to the windshield,
damage to the wiper motor may occur when the
vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents
the windshield wiper blades from returning to the
"park" position. If the windshield wiper control is
turned OFF, and the blades cannot return to the
"park" position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
